I got the bicycle's rear wheel out of the shop for about $58. When I got it back, I realized that it had low tread and the technician said it has between 100 - 200 miles on it. That won't even survive the next hike. With the way that I switched from this to chubbys, then studdeds in the months prior, I don't think these tires have more than 300mi on them. This is an Innova 14 - 2011 - 5, 26 x 2.10 (56 - 559) rear mountain bike tire.
The bike shop also informed me that tires can go between 1,000 to 5,000 miles. But department store tires can go bad between 200 - 500 miles. In this case, my bike was purcased from Dick's Sporting goods.
The spokes seem to have a wider diameter and I hope they'll be stronger.
